Authenticated privilege escalation via SQL injection
Published Sep 8, 2026 · Updated Sep 9, 2026
SQL injection in Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition before 16.0.20326.20094 allows remote authenticated users to elevate privileges. Microsoft has disclosed only that improper neutralization of special SQL elements lets crafted network input alter a database command; no affected endpoint, parameter, or code path is public. A low-privileged SharePoint account and network access are required, with no user interaction; successful exploitation grants elevated SharePoint privileges.
